Telephone Service

Resident students are given a phone line and password protected voicemail.  Each student in a suite will have his/her own telephone jack and will be assigned a telephone extension that can be used for both on campus calling (four digit dialing) and off campus calling (ten digit dialing). Off-campus phone calls can be made using a calling card.
